Bullying
No one deserves to be the victim of bullying. Bullying in football is defined as a form of abuse and Senrab F.C. will not condone bullying under any circumstances.
Bullying can be defined as:
1. Physical hitting, kicking and theft
2. Verbal: name calling, constant teasing, sarcasm, racism, sexist or homophobic taunts, comments about disability, threats and gestures. This is not 'banter' – it is hurtful and batters self esteem.
3. Emotional: tormenting, social media and texting abuse, ridiculing, humiliating and isolating.
The bully in football can be:
1. The parent that pushes too hard
2. An intimidating child/young person
3. A coach who has a 'win at all costs' philosophy
4. An official who places unfair pressure on a child.
All of the above mentioned behaviour is not tolerated at Senrab F.C. and will be dealtwith under the afore mentioned Parent/Player Misconduct Procedures.
Please make sure you read and understand the above terms and conditions.
By registering your child with Senrab F.C. you agree to be bound by these rules.
